Well if you actually bothered to read my post I actually mentioned how I myself am 'Middle-class' and don't moan about richer people because it would be hypocritical, considering I have advantages compared to poorer people. Never did I say I deserved more than others or was entitled to more than others. So piss off.


The essential theme of your thread was: "The majority of people shouldn't complain about the unearned and undeserved wealth and privileges of an elite because they have it ok".

The whole message was contrary to the concept of meritocracy in which I believe.

Frankly, "Ralphie" I doubt very much whether you are "middle class".

No, my point was that when you're a pompous privileged middle-class prick like yourself moaning about the upper-class is just hypocritical, and instead of moaning about people having more than you and having it easier than you, you should get on with your life and if you can help those less fortunate.

You also accused me of being prejudiced and ignorant, yet you seem ignorant about a lot of things. You doubt I'm middle-class? What because my names Ralph I must be upper-class?

Yes I doubt it. I don't know that you're not. I just strongly suspect that you are not.

Who the hell said I was middle class? By almost any measure I come from what is patronisingly dubbed "the working class".

Frankly, the best possible thing to do to help "those less fortunate" is to undermine the class system which supports those at the top.

Oh sorry did I accuse you of being from a class that you're not based on zero, at best limited, information on you. What kind of prick would do that? You may doubt I'm middle-class and I have no idea why, but I would go as far as saying you're a ****ing liar if you claim to be working-class. You're a classic example of a middle-class champagne socialist.

It would seem that I have just been called a "middle-class champagne socialist" by a man called "Ralph" who votes Labour.

What an odd sensation.

Wow you're hilarious. From your ****ty little blog and crappy little radio show I can only presume you want a job in journalism or media of some sort? My suggestion is give it up. You have an awful writing style and you seem to think you're a lot more intelligent and funny than you actually are.

Anyway, I'm not touchy I'm just wondering why you put my name in quotes unless you had a point to make about it? So only rich/white upper-class aristocrats can have that name? Never heard of inter-marriage? If you must know my mum is Spanish and my dad is Irish-Canadian, both from 'working' class families, both technically immigrants. They both work as Bankers and actually made something of themselves, but are hardly 'Upper' class.

We're not all inbred ***** like you.

Inbred?

Clutching at straws?

Sorry, it should have been obvious that you were from one of those famous banking working class families.

When did I say I was working-class? I said I was middle-class, which you seemed to refute?
Pseudo-intellectuals are ok because they can be pwned. Intelligent people that dumb themselves down can suddenly burst into this intellectual tailspin without warning and pwn the hell out of you.

In your post.

You do seem to have a poor memory.

I am bored now. I am not interested in your opinions on my writing style, or indeed anything else. Please refrain from quoting me.

Pseudo intellectuals imo.
Clever people need to dumb themselves down to avoid being lynched. I know from experience - apparently people get pissed off when you keep using words that they don't understand and you can't think of a good way of actually explaining what it is to people.

What? That quote? You're an awful, awful journalist if you can't remember a simple quote. What happened there was you tried to counter my argument by saying I claimed I was working-class, which I never did and failed.

You're the one with the poor memory. Now **** off

Pseudo intellectuals without a shadow of a doubt.

It is why I feel compelled to punch myself in the gut each morning. :sad:

I google'd "Pseudo Intellectuals"
1. One who attempts to flex intellect that does not exist within his or her own mind.

2. Can probably be found with a thesaurus in hand, while in a chat room, looking up new insults that are synonymous with "stupid" in order to boost his or her own undeserved ego.

3. Typical cases of pseudo-intellectualism involve pre-pubescent 15 year olds that think they have everything figured out, including, but not limited to: life, religion, politics, education, and sex. Ironically, they have never quite experienced either of the aforementioned.

4. Pretends he or she has an opinion.

5. Posseses a severe tendency to blindly and wholeheartedly believe any bull**** they hear, only to subsequently regurgitate the misinformation to anyone they see in an asinine attempt to appear more intelligent than a used, broken condom.

6. Should the victim of the verbal onslaught happen to have a differing opinion, the pseudo-intellectual will revert to his or her thesaurus and insult the opposition with words he or she never knew existed, and probably cannot even pronounce.

7. Annoyingly and constantly refers to the word antidisestablishmentarianism, as if knowledge of said word defined his or her illegitimately high intelligence quotient.

8. Typically a hypocrite; creates many, many contradictions. Most online grammar/spelling Nazis can relate.

9. Always ends a bull**** "argument" with, "I win, so stfu." Win what, dip****s? Your opinions weren't fact in the first place.
